Default Novac Ballistic 550 Can size

I confirmed that the new/current Novac Ballistic 550 (black one) fits with no problem, didn't even have to loosen the chasis.

I posted a pic of the can length on the digital calipers, the end caps are beveled enough so it does not cause seating issues.

How do we go about updating the first post to reflect this?

FT shocks are hard anodized, and will be smoother and the inner surface will last much longer than the blue shocks. If you buy the entire kit (not just the shock bodies), the shock shafts will be Ti Nitride coated. Very smooth.

I have that same motor 4.5T and I didn't have to loosen anything either. It easily fits because of the stepped design on the end.

How long the wires need to be depends on where you mount the ESC. They usually give you more than enough wire, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you run the receiver box and mount the speedo in front of it, they should reach.
